title: [Spontaneous abortion and advanced maternal age].
abstract: A retrospective analysis of pregnancy outcome after demonstration of a live fetus in the first trimester was carried out in 387 patients to establish a background loss rate and evaluate the safety of chorionic villus sampling. The present study proves an increased risk of spontaneous abortion with increasing maternal age, and a miscarriage rate (9.81%) higher than chorionic biopsy (4.4), probably because the therapeutic abortions and the sonograms were performed after bleeding.
